A CD is not a MP3. There are so many differences I will not expound on them. When a "record" company puts out MP3's for sale of an artists work, and I download that MP3, then I'm a thief. For now they are manufacturing CD's and charging more than the market will bear, which is why sales have gone down. I have never stolen a CD online. That would be hard to do, stealing a CC # first and all. That technology allows CD's to be converted to MP3, quite well I add, does not make that MP3 a CD. "Record" companies lost the reel to reel, 8 track, and cassette recording cases. The only difference is that MP3 does a better job and can be distributed quicker. When automobiles came out the horse and buggy people didn't take the position that autos were moving in on thier business so therefore the imperial federal government had to restrict autos. Autos were a different way of getting form A to B, and MP3's are a different way of recording. That the quality of MP3 is better than tape does not negate the logic applied in the tape case. Call me not a thief, sir/maam. Call me up to date.
